Customer Reviews Topo Athletic Magnifly 5

Would love to run in these. I have to wait til I am recovered. Meanwhile they feel great every time I put them on.

I loved the Magnifly 4s and had no problems with them at all. I am wondering if something happened to the toe box in this next generation - it doesn't feel any different, but my toes are getting all bashed up, bruised and blistered. Ouch!

Toe box has a lot of room. Good cushion for walking/running. I had to go up a half size. I don't find the tongue comfortable because it sticks into the front of my ankle. The tongue restrainer is too high and makes the problem worse, so I didn't use it. My Hokas have a crimp in the tongue which makes the last inch turn up, which is more comfortable. It would be nice to have that in this shoe.

I started wearing these after "graduating" from the phantom. I love them -- good cushion, secure in the heel but plenty of room in the toe box. However, the next model needs a significant improvement on the upper material. I'm on my 2nd pair of Magnifly 5, and both pairs (different colors, btw), the fabric in the upper is oddly baggy. I've never experienced this with a shoe, including a previous pair of the Magnifly 4. This shouldn't happen on a $100+ shoe. Fix this on the Magnifly 6, Topo!

Maybe No laces

I'm really enjoying this shoe having switched from the ALTRA Women's Escalante 3 Running Shoes which kept falling apart. I really like the zero drop and roomy toe box. These were super comfy right out of the box. I use them for daily walking about 12 miles a week. The only thing I don't like about them is the color. I bought the gray/black combo, but I wish there was a total black option -- both sides and top in black (some brands call that "Blackout".

I use these for training, which is why I need the zero drop. However, can we please get a plain black and white pair? Topos are my fav, but I need a zero drop I can wear to weight train in and then just as an all-around shoe. The training shoes that are black and white with zero drop have absolutely no cushion at all for outside walks etc.

I actually was able to make it through the life of a pair of shoes for the first time in a decade with the magnifly 4. The magnifly 5 felt even better in a most every way except that it is a bulkier shoe. I felt like the shoe was significantly more balanced, but I wasn't able to land on the ground with as much finesse and shock absorption. I love the secure midfoot, but I wish this shoe had a less prominent arch and a flexible forefoot without so much of a rocker. #sweepstakes

Love the toe box but the mid foot is a little too snug on my foot. They are comfy in general, and light. I wear them for running only. I will keep them and see how they hold up, but they aren't my favorite pair of running shoes ever.

Road running, training for local races.

I bought the magnifly and they're so comfortable unfortunately I returned them because I needed 11.5 . The half sizes stop at 10.5. My toes kept bumping into the rubber thing inside the toe box. This actually gave me immediate relief in my heel. Please make half sizes for all the shoes

Used it for gym workouts, it was nice until the rubber parts on the soles of shoes started to lift and come off. I almost tripped several times due to it coming apart

Need to improve glue to the shoes, in the rain the glue separated easily from the bottom and top of the shoes

Had to send them back as they were too snug, especially in length....the width could have been wider also.

Love the zero drop combined with cushion and support. However, I need a wider toe box. I'm keeping a wide in a different model, but I really wanted the zero drop model to work. I'm sure this would have been what I was looking for if offered in multiple widths, so please add wide and extra wide toe box options. Bonus: my picky teen told me they were super cute; and I agree, the green is a great color. The only other thing I would change is to reduce the toe spring, please. Thank you!

I got a pair of the pursuit twos in the gray color in late February and had to exchange them because the eyelet popped off. The second pair I got in mid-march had an eyelet come loose. I just glued that back, which has held. These are not my everyday shoes but I wear them often. They have started ripping from the sole. I can put my finger through the mesh. The heel of the shoe is also coming apart and hurting my ankle. I don't recommend these. Waste of money to only have them this long.

I walk a lot, and the Magnifly 4's were perfect - zero heal drop, high stack height... I wore through three pairs. The Magnifly 5 is not an upgrade. They don't fit as well around the opening of the shoe; even tightened to the point of discomfort it feels like I'm walking out of them so my gait adjusts to keep them on, which is causing pain. They aren't too big; if I sized down my toes would be crushed. These shoes aren't terrible but they do not live up to their predecessors.

Limited color option and the TOPO logo and name big what makes the shoe looks not good for a modern, minimalists, classic look. I am thinking to buy it or not just for the design and the color...

I liked these at first but very quickly they lost integrity and the whole upper became baggy and loose. The cushioning feels very unforgiving. There's nothing terrible about them but there is also nothing great. Also, I find them pretty unattractive and cheap looking.
